Customer Reviews

So far I have purchased quite a few of them and I'm very happy. It's the easiest gyro to configure I know. Their computer programming interface is solid and written in plain English language that's easy to understand. My helis fly better and inspire confidence so I can push more. Tail control is awesome. Integration is available for most radios so you don't have to buy another one. They are priced fair.

Ikon getting out dated a bit

I think the Ikon has been a great flybarless unit for quite a while however it could benfit from a large makeover. The PC software is buggy and out of date, the governor/throttle servo setup is difficult if your servo does not work in the provided frequency (servo wont move or can bottom out and burn out during setup), the new firmware is buggy and changed channel assignments, when this happens a clear warning should be displayed instead of just being in the update notes. My servos (KST) seem to plug in very loose to the unit and NEED to be taped in or they will fall out (all my servos on all IKONs) The internal connector board for the servos is not well supported so I have had one IKON break all solder joints, this should be cusioned with something. Otherwise it fliles great and once you learn setups its fine until the latest firmware. Once you update firmward you need to check EVERYTHING prior to flying.

Love the telemetry integration

I’ve flown just about every popular fbl unit available. At my level, mild 3D, there is virtually no difference between them flight wise. The Ikon2 and it’s twin brother the Brain2 provide the best integration package that works great with many radio systems and ESCs. The rescue function works very well on electric helis. Setup is easy with the Brain2 app either on a pc or cell phone with the Bluetooth option.
Pricing of these are among the least expensive that includes rescue function. Most other units charge extra for an update to add rescue.
The guys at Helidirect were very accommodating when I showed up at their shop with cash in hand. They aren’t setup for in person cash sales so they jumped through a few hoops to get me taken care of!
